@Andrew JanssensYes, go research various credit card rewards systems. 

Let's keep this going - what are the other risks and rewards in regards to real estate investing? 

But the math shows that paying off debt quickly and then investing actually produces a greater return.Do the hard work up front and you'll reap the rewards.

I bought some hill country land from an estate I think about 4 years ago for cash and it still took months and months to close (buying from multiple heirs with the mind set to be cashing out can be a quite rewarding price wise but it was very strange and different). 

So the risk reward does not compute.

A buyer's agent job is all risk-taking to get the reward, they don't get anything for trying.

Depends on your risk-to-reward stamina.City of Detroit has higher risks with corresponding higher rewards.

People are often motivated by rewards.

It appears the reward out ways the risk for someone who gets after it and finds the deals that pencil out. 

However, I understand that if we approach the buying process as a partnership, we won't qualify for an FHA loan.Is there a way to qualify for an FHA loan, while still maintaining a partnership structure, and all partners receive the rewards of the returns?
